Popularity OF the Jerseys.

The Jersey breed has taken very
prominent position in the dairy during
the past ten or twelve years. Pre-
Niously il was the fashionable cow of
the rich amateur farmer. who could af-

afford TO pay dollar per pound for a
product. which was certainly known to

flavor and appearance. il Was new
departure in dairying, and has had a
most beneficial influence in compelling
the makers of butter TO follow the ex-
ample sci in this way, or in inducing
them to do so. in the hope of securing
higher prices for their product. A
wholly new business, commonly
known as fancy butter making, has
sprung up, and this has led to the ex-
pensive introduction of winter dairying
and large variety Of improved appa-
ratus. Ii is new instance of the i'm
provement in agricultural methods
which has been brought about by the
use of improved stock and just as the

law Of increase goes on in weeds just
as surely as in grain, ard whoever
wants a crop has only to let them be on

Ooloring not a Fraud.

Frequent squibs are found going
through the papers condemnirg the col
oring of butter, and denominating it
fraud and on parallel with the oleo-
margarine cheat. Occasionally the
thing is carried still further, and dairy
men themselves in the practice of using
artificial coloring, are set down as
equally guilty with those who are cheat
ing their customers with colored lard
or tallow in place ofth butter that is
wanted These are all loaded and fired
in the interest Of the counterfeit but
ter trade, and have no other object
than the divertiug of public attention
from the counterfeit carried on.
The fact is there is no shade Of a
parallel between the acts of coloring the
two substances. Neither are dsirymen
guilty Of an overt act in the coloring
Of their butter There is neither cheat,
counterfeit nor crime about it. In the
shading of butter the dairyman is sim
ply complying with the demand OF pur-
chasers. Consumers require that the

There is a downward as well as upward

greater excellence. Failure TO do so results

Look at the hist ~ of the Christian church.
Compare the spiritual power and holy walk
of the early disciples with those of Asia
Minor. when John wrote the book of ReVela-
ton. So in our day how many put their
hands to the pillow, but look back and so rem
der themselves unfit for the kingdom OF
heaven. There are multitudes of such in our
cit; land even in our,churches. Butrestoration
is possible. God is not willing that any, even
the backslider, should perish. He says to all,
Turn ye, turn ye, why will ye die"
The miracles Of Jesus declared His
power to heal the sick in a spiritual sense.
The prodigal son was received and restored,
and so was Peter. In this work of CONVEX

the church ought to realize that the work of
converting the world is put into the hands of
Gods people. By teaching. persuading and
by prayer sinners are converted. ut pleased

given TO tracin. DR.. StadeS conclusions con-
corning the Hebrew patriarchs and Moses
and the settlement of Canaan Concluding,
the preacher said that these historians,

Its sublime heights in Isaiah and the prophets.
and would not be at all disturbed If even
Moses should all melt away in myth. The
good things of the Bible are there, and it
makes no difference from what man or age
they come. 1t is even more honorable
TO the Hebrews and more hopeful
for the human race to suppose their religion
came by pate Mt progression, than to think it
began in perfection and has been relapsing
ever since. By the broader views which
have come with modern thought, religion be-
comes more real and sure-uot the revelation
TO a single people, but the upward look and
longing of mankind in which all races unite
in their various ways. In such q view,
Scripture widens TO q vaster volume, which
includes the best literature Of all languages,
a Bible broad enough to hold all good books,
and which, though not infallible, still
strengthens religion by showing the same
sentiments moving men in all lands, the same
love and hope warming the hearts of all ages.

The Tam O'Shanter club. of Minneapolis,
held its meeting Friday evening at 931
Nicollet avenue. A Trial by Jury" was
the order of business. with Judge William
Guthrie Oh the bench. The counsel for the
prosecution was II. J. Nesbitt and the
counsel for the defense, c. Guthrie. Clerk
of Courts J. D. Forbes swOre in twelve
jurymen and witnesses, and read the i'll
dictment that John Nod did, on the 18th
day of February, 1887, willfully and mali
ciously kill and secrete the person of Gus
tave Blank. The prisoners plea was not
guilty, pleading that he had killed Gustave
Blank in self-defense. The evidence
showed that the prisoner and Gustave
Blank were on good terms and that they in
tended going into business together. K. s.
Robins and w. d. Sanford testified to hav-
ing sold large knife to Gustave Blank
Oh Feb. 10, 1887, which they identified.
Gustaye Blanks bank book showed an elf
try on Feb. Is, 1887. OF the withdrawal of
$500. and none of this sum was found on
the body; but $751; was found on the pris-
oner when arrested by Detective William
Nesbitt. The widow of Gustaye Blank
identified the pocketbook and bank book of
her late husband, which were found in the
vicinity of the murder. She entered the
court room heavily draped in mourning.
looking pale. and her general appearance
was father masculine. The jury retired at
1880 p. m. and returned at IL p. M. when
Foreman j. L. Proven announced that they
had unanimously found the prisoner, John
Nod, guilty of murder i'll the first degree,
but recommended the prisoner to mercy.
The judge pronounced sentence of impris-
onment for life. The prisoner displayed
unusual calmness throughout the trial. and
only gave way when sentence was pro-
nounced. He broke down entirely, and
had to be carried from the court room by
the sheriff in a semi-consci0us condition.
Both the counsel for the prosecution aud
defense acquitted themselves in a very able
manner. William Stevenson invited the
club to meet at his home. at 21S South
Eighth street, next Friday evening, when

and Cure" will be read by R. j. Nesbitt.
